Greetings, virtuous viewers, and welcome to Vegetarian Elite. On
today’s program, we are going to introduce the famous Chinese wushu and
qigong master, Lee Feng-San. Lee Shifu is a vegetarian and advocates
the plant-based diet as beneficial not only for a healthy body, but for
sound mind and spirit as well.
Lee Shifu was born in a family
with a long history of practicing Chinese traditional wushu. Wushu is
the Mandarin Chinese name for Chinese martial arts, otherwise called
kung fu, which originated about 4,000 years ago.
He learned
from his father and other masters of various schools, and gained his
reputation by teaching wushu. Lee Shifu also achieved notoriety for
demonstrating the flow of qi in an internationally recognized
scientific experiment of qigong.
In 1989, he founded the
Meimen Qigong and Cultural Center. He seeks to use the valuable
heritage of the Chinese people to help others reach their full
potential, physically and mentally, through internal self-cultivation
and external exercises. Through these efforts, he hopes to create peace
on Earth.
Lee(m): We
have several kinds of themes. One is the healthy lifestyle (Yangsheng).
The second is the culture. The third is the education. We emphasize
tradition in all three.
HOST: Lee Shifu openly shares his ideals and methods of self-cultivation.
He hopes that as more people are connected with this message, the world will be elevated and at peace.
Lee(m):
I always share my personal practice method with other people. We keep
doing this. If everyone cultivates themselves and improves, then the
world will be pacified.
HOST: Chinese martial arts are unique
holistic practices that aspire to balance one’s internal and external
worlds. They are chiefly peaceful exercises, meant to perfect overall
wellbeing, while providing the practitioner a method of self defense.
The emphasis of wushu, however, is not entirely on the physical activities as Lee Shifu will explain today.
